In reply to: Can’t access WP-Admin – blank white screen 2.8.5It was something about the plugins for me. I simply renamed the plugins folder to plugins2, logged in successfully to my wp-admin dashboard, then renamed it back to plugins. So far, I’m navigating around just fine. Let’s see how long it lasts before I am forced to narrow down which plugin is the offender.

In reply to: RSS feed error: EntityRef: expecting ‘;’Ok. I still haven’t figured out how to fix the issue from within FeedWordPress, but I found out what was causing the issue. The ‘guid’ column in your posts table, i.e. wp_posts, stores a guid that is supposed to create a uniqueness to your posts as well as work with determine duplicates – which is why I think you no longer need to use the other plugin for duplicate posts for this plugin. (It contains the ‘&’ entity, so the feed’s XML expectations are not met, they MUST be ‘& amp ;’) – remove the space between & amp ;.
So, I update the guids in the posts table like so:
UPDATE wp_posts
SET guid = REPLACE(guid,’& amp ;’,’&’) –remove the spaces between & amp ;!!
WHERE guid LIKE ‘%&%’
AND guid NOT LIKE ‘%&%’After running the above query, I am again able to see my feed properly. Be careful for Google Chrome’s really bad cache if you’re refreshing within that browser – otherwise, you might think things are still broken.
If anyone else comes up with something more useful, especially a fix for the plugin, by all means, share it! 🙂

In reply to: RSS feed error: EntityRef: expecting ‘;’I like feedburner and use it with several of my other sites. I just installed it for the one where I’m having the error and it does not resolve the issue. The problem is that I am bringing in feeds from LinkShare that have links within the posts that does not use entities for ampersands. So, the feed ends up with “&” instead of
& amp ;, which will break the XML validation, and thus the feed.So far, the only solution I can see is to stop using FeedWordPress or to determine a method to change all of the links that import with a raw “&” in them.
Thanks!

In reply to: RSS feed error: EntityRef: expecting ‘;’I am getting this exact error after installing FeedWordPress. Anyone have any ideas? I will continue to research on my own, but it has been a thorn in my side for a couple months now and none of my “googling” has yielded any solution. Thanks!

In reply to: RSS feed’s not workingUsually when this is seen, there is a separate file causing the extra “DOCTYPE”, i.e. a PHP included file that also has its own DOCTYPE. I cannot determine from what you posted if that is the case or not. BTW, it does not have to be in your header.php file. It can be anywhere. If you have PHP for posts/pages enabled by a plug in or whatever, you might be inadvertently including/requiring/curling a completely different file that has its own headers.
